A shocked churchgoer saw him committing the vile act while attending a talk about Asperger’s syndrome at the church.
Jeffs, a retired church leader, noticed the member of the public but carried on and later told police he did it because he felt “naughty”, a court heard
Magistrates heard Jeffs committed the sex act while working as a pastoral manager at Christian faith-based group, Parents Talking Asperger’s.
The court heard he was in his office at The Baptist Centre in Middleton Cheney, Northants., in September 2020 when he was spotted.

A witness walked past his office and said they saw Jeffs almost completely naked, except for a pair of ladies' stockings.
Prosecutor Ellie Hutchinson said: "He accepted in a police interview that he was touching himself in church but claimed he did not know he would be seen."
Alistair Evans, defending, said: "He is still coming to terms with the loss of his wife at a young age and was in a lot of pain because he was ignoring his health and his diabetes was not medicated."
The magistrate said: “Why you thought it best to bring this matter to trial, I have no idea.”
